Are the handlebars complete with the switches etc?
Just a word of warning. Rattle can paint is NOT fuel resistant. Spilling gas will eat it away, and leave streaks. You must seal the paint with a...
Compressed air works great as well, If you have access to a compressor. Nachoman

Race gas does indeed burn slower than low octane fuels. So long as you are not pinging, race gas will be a waste of money. You will actually go...
Bartman, that looks like the same system I have. It is a MAC unit, 4 into 1 obviously. The baffle is a standard issue sportbike type with no...
Nice trip, I'm hoping to make it to the Dragon this fall, we'll see. Nachoman
Solenoid is bad most likely. It happens. I had a bad sparkplug once that drove me crazy for days. It was brand new out of the box. Nachoman
I would also check your voltage at the battery. If it's low the headlight will draw more amps. A poor connection (resistor) will cause this as...
If you didn't pull out the mixture screws when you cleaned the carbs, the carbs are not clean. Pull them again and completely dissasemble them....
I had a few of the same impressions after taking my first extended ride a few months ago. Yes they rev high. Redline is 9500, cruising is about...
Robert, If you work out a deal, I will take the clutch. Let me know. Nachoman
I would be interested in the clutch, mine is about shot. Also interested in the coils/wires. Please pm me with a price.
Just a word on checking chain slack. The measurement given by Yamaha should be on the swingarm sticker, or possibly the headstock sticker. 1" to 1...
Getting a dyno run with an exhaust gas analysis can be a great tool for tuning. RWHp readings from a dyno are highly subjective. The value is in...
As long as it doesn't interfere with wire retention, use it on all electrical connections. Nachoman
Figured I'd try you guys on this one. I've been doing a little rewiring on my pickup. Basically the supercharger has forced me to install some...

I recently recovered my seat. The staples the PO had used were wearing through because they were too long. Instead of stapleing from the inside, I...
I look forard to your report. I have been looking at them for a while as well. Nachoman
Exactly, Aparently the further in you screw the adjuster the more anti-dive you get. The scroll marks are numbered 1-5, 1 being the mark you...
When I first started riding my '82 SECA 750 this year, I noticed the anti-dive wasn't doing a hell of a lot. I thought that was wierd, given this...
The parts you need are still available from Yamaha. Part # is 4X7-23168-00-00. Ron Ayers has them listed online for 5.64 each. I would try your...

I have been unable to find a reference to rubber motor mounts in the Yamaha parts list. Do they exist on the SECA? Nachoman
On my '82 SECA, the PO hooked the batt sensor wire directly up to the batt side of the solenoid. It has been connected for some time now, and my...
If you have a YICS bike, the cylinders are "sharing" intake at lower speed, and idle. They will draw some fuel/air from other cylinders. This is...
My 750 SECA is absolutely terrible with vibrations. I found this discussion on another forum, perhaps it will be of use......
I just rebled my front brakes and noticed my new pads are only contacting the rotors with the bottom 3/8". Is this normal on new pads? The brakes...
Ian, You don't have a scan of the wiring diagram for the 650/750 RJ/RK do you? It's the one thing I still need for my manual connection....
RTV around the throttle shaft is dangerous, as it will fully harden. RTV will resist fuel to an extent once it is fully dry, say 48 hours. A...
Re: For Sale : 81 Seca 550 and 650 Tabs? Nachoman
Those are the correct screws, right next to the choke plungers. Like 'zilla said 2 1/2 turns from LIGHTLY seated is stock, although there may be...
On the pod question, 650 and 750 carbs are the same. The K&N pod filter kit should fix you up. You will need to rejet, so a Dynajet kit will be...
Your gut feeling is correct. The pilot jets should be smaller than the mains. I didn't even know they would thread in. Robert, As long as...
Don't be afraid to remove the pilot screws. Just be careful as there is a spring holding down a very small washer keeping theoring in place. You...
